Thematic

Thematic is a copyright-free music licensing platform that connects independent content creators with emerging artists. Creators get a permanent, no-cost license to use tracks in their videos in exchange for including a promotional link in the description, which activates YouTube Content ID whitelisting and prevents copyright claims across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and podcasts. Premium ($9.99/mo) and Pro ($24.99/mo) plans unlock the full catalog, podcast licensing, and unlimited downloads. Co-founded with YouTube pioneer Michelle Phan, Thematic serves 1M+ creators and 10,000+ independent artists across 220+ countries. Thematic runs a consumer web and mobile app and does not currently publish a public developer API. Backed by 500 Global and Lux Capital.
